Agreed. Pork patty was nasty

The pork patty was not bad once mixed in with Ramen noodles and the flavor pack added.

The Pork Patty was the bottom dweller in ours.

If you got that, absolutely nobody was gonna trade with you.

A white plastic disc that turned into a greasy white something or other.

I remember those.........couldn't pay someone to take it! And, there wasn't enough tobasco to choke it down either!

Our unit was issued T-Rats or Tray Rations on a Field Exercise once. The mess hall folks put them in stacks on the dock, so the person who picked them up grabbed a stack and put it in the CUCV and brought it to our unit. What the mess hall folks did not tell anyone is to take one from each stack. I have never been so tired of Lasagna in my life. Still to this day, I do not like lasagna.

I was a big fan of the "Breakfast Bake" T-Rat

You always have to remember the intended usage. High energy & protein, when and where needed.

I still remember the best pea soup I've ever had. It was mildly warm, served in an aluminium mess kit, at a muddy open roof restaurant which had underground seating and where water was served up to ancles. But after four* days on few yoghurt and pack of cripsbread it was a heavenly meal. (*=FOB team logistics SNAFU at a training exercise).

btw: of all the MREs, I've liked the french best.

I'm ashamed of myself for not mentioning that infamous denizen of the C-ration era:
The "JOHN WAYNE" candy bar.

In boot camp week 2 or 3, there was only 1 MRE left in a box so I grabbed it, cheese omelet. I thought “hell I love cheese omelet's!” Will Never make that mistake again. I believe it’s been removed from the menu now.

I've been getting a lot of matches.

I never had any breakfast type MREs. Not sure why it wasn't offered to us while I was in. I did enjoy S.O.S. at the mess hall.

Had SOS at NH Great Lakes.......good stuff! Had it at every duty station......Camp Pendleton was I think the best!

We had a ham and cheese omelet which were horrible. Off grey green color. We called them lung in a bag.

I never knew Breakfast MRE's existed. The worse was the Chicken Ala King, it really was horrible. As for T-Rats, I had the scrambled eggs and bacon, did not know which was the eggs or the bacon, they were the same color and taste. Good thing T-Rats came with tabasco, that was the only way to have taste.

OK, I have to chime in here. All the talk about MREs and S.O.S is a bit off topic for this thread.... If you guys want to continue to reminisce about MREs, please take it to the off topic lounge.

Thanks
